I have access to Doxycycline however my Lyme disease test came back negative

I'd take the doxy asap, 100mg twice/day is the usual dose.

Even the manufacturers of the lyme tests say that a negative test should not be used definitively to diagnose the patient, ie-you do not have lyme, the diagnosis is to be based on symptoms. Supplement at different times with a good probiotic.

Hi.  I am so sorry that, as usual, when the medical profession doesn't know what's wrong, it is because the patient has anxiety, depression, hypochondria, etc.  I have had similar issues with GP's in particular, they just don't listen to their patients, who generally know their own bodies best.

I have no medical background, just things I've learned whilst trying to diagnose my own health problems.  Do you know what blood tests you had?  They usually do the ELISA test first and, if that is positive, follow it up with the Western Blot test.  I don't think it always shows up though. If you have had the bullseye rash that's normally a pretty clear indication.  If you could afford it, I would pay and go to see a Lyme specialist (I cannot recommend anyone as I don't have Lyme.)  The other option for testing, although it's a bit extreme, is to have a lumbar puncture which can also show if you have Lyme (I have had a couple myself, they are not as bad as they sound.)

If you have Lyme it should have been treated aggressively with antitbiotics early on, and I don't know what antibiotics they prescribe.  Sorry.

Where do you live?

There are 2 clinics I know of in UK, one in Hemel Hampsted and another in Winchester.  If you live within a convenient travelling time to either I would recommend you consult one of the doctors there.

Doxycyclin and clindamycin are supposedly the drugs of choice but I have been told for neurological symptoms Penicillin is best.  Thants why I recommend seeing one of the doctors before self-medicating.  The clinic in Hemel deals with MS, Lyme, ME, Fibromyalgia etc and are very thorough and definitely won't ignore you.  The clinic in Winchester is just one doctor who specialises in Lyme disease.  Both clinics are private with a 2 month waiting list although I do beleive the doctor in Winchester has an NHS clinic too.

Just to let you know that the special Lyme Disease Clinic set up by Dr Matthew Dryden, based at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, closed in May 2014, only six months after opening, due to lack of funding. As far as I know, he still practices at the BMI Sarum Road Hospital, WInchester.  

I suggest you start the Doxycycline immediately. 100mg twice a day. Cut out sugar and look on the internet for more lyme diet suggestions. I found making hot ginger infused drinks very helpful. I also bought Manuka honey from Boots, as it has antibacterial elements. My diet included lots of protein. Hope you feel better soon. Oh, and when you start the Doxycycline, read up on the Herx reaction as the bacteria start to die off. It can feel awful, but keep going as it's all part of getting better and soon passes.
